Connecting the Interface to
the Network
1. Remove power from the drive and discharge any stored power.
2. To access the drive control pod, open the drive door.
3. Use electrostatic discharge (ESD) control precautions.
4. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network.
See Figure 5
for an example of wiring to an EtherNet/IP network.
Figure 5 - Connecting the Ethernet Cable to the Network
5. Route the other end of the Ethernet cable through the bottom plate of
the drive to either of the Ethernet connectors on the bottom edge of the
control board. See item 4 in Components on page 18
.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive can contain high
voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove power from the drive, and then
verify that power has been discharged before connecting the built-in EtherNet/IP
interface to the network. Verify that the DC bus has been discharged.
